Business Administration

Dr. Zhen Ma

The Business Administration Major permits students to freely fashion their study to meet their professional and personal needs. The curriculum contains sufficient flexibility to meet most needs and expectations of the students, both those who intend to go on to graduate school and those who see immediate entrance into the profession. 

Students who major in business administration choose to focus on a specific area of business. The business administration major allows students to choose a specialization sequence in areas such as management, marketing, health care management, sport management or management information systems.

My experience at Misericordia University has undeniably been the best four years of my life! Being able to be a student of the college of business and having the opportunity to major in business administration has given me opportunities that other higher education institutions would not have provided.

I think the Business department is truly special here at Misericordia. You are more than just a number. The professors care not only about your success in the classroom, but also in your professional career. They bring their prior career experiences into the classroom to better prepare you for your career after school.
